What Does Delay In Fetus Growth Indicate?

Hi I m 30 years old with 160 cm height and my husband is 39 and 175 cm height. I m pregnant 19 weeks and 4 days with a girl. I had NT scan at 12 weeks shown 3.4 and the amniocentesis came back normal. But yesterday i had my 19 weeks check up , they said the baby limb and arms are short and 2 weeks behind. Is it a serious problem? I had an abnormal pregnancy on 2014 the baby was 5 weeks behind and I terminated that pregnancy. I m really worry about this obe. Please give me some advice. Thanks
